Dear friends and families of Bishop Ward, For years, we have sent our parents and families a monthly newsletter with useful and upbeat information about what is happening inside our school. As a team, we in administration have reflected on this process and concluded that instead of an old-fashioned newsletter, this information belongs on our website, which is also available to you on your phone as the Bishop Ward app -- be sure to download it. This letter to you is the start of our new way of communicating the info you used to get in the monthly newsletter. "A rising tide lifts all boats." You may be familiar with that aphorism, made popular by President John F. Kennedy, who frequently used it in speeches. I have been using that a lot lately when people ask how things are going at Bishop Ward. It seems like God is working through our terrific students, faculty and staff to elevate us across the board. Our enrollment is up 10 percent over the past three and a half years; our music and theatre programs have been excellent; our football program made the playoffs for the first time in 12 years; our student artists continue to win awards for their creativity; the boys' basketball team is competing for a conference title with their best season in a long time; our finances are sound and the school's endowment has grown to $13.5 million; we sent a full bus to the annual March for Life, the largest group from Bishop Ward in many years; the recent accreditation visit by a team of education professionals gave us a glowing report focused on how are students are known, loved and cared for. We know we are not perfect and there is always much to work on, but we also know we have a positive, safe, caring, Christian environment in which students are thriving. It is a great time to be part of Bishop Ward, and we are excited to be doing more to take advantage of our website and school app to make sure you and all our friends are aware of the blessings we are witnessing here. Take care and God bless, Jay Dunlap, President February 2022

Bishop Ward Video Game Club/Esports Team is seeing continuous growth as their season continues. Currently in the High School Esports League (HSEL), the team has continued to recruit new members and participate in the Spring Esports season. They have created a new team for monthly tournaments in the popular game, Apex Legends. The very successful R6 team from the Fall semester has been re-registered for the Spring season and are hoping to qualify for nationals. The HSEL has also created a power ranking for the top schools who are competing in each title this Spring. Our Cyclones are mentioned in this video at the 7:40 mark: https://youtu.be/jyd0yCbqEhc. The team is taking big steps in their first year of the program and they are looking forward to continued growth moving forward! Thank you for Coach Tony Subasic '14 and Coach Ryan McNally for putting together the Esports Team and for your continued support and guidance for the team on their journey to qualify for nationals

Catholic Schools Week is a special time in the school year. It is an opportunity for Catholic schools across the country to celebrate together who we are as disciples of Christ; the communities we serve; and the families who choose to send their students to our institutions. We, at Bishop Ward, have designated themes for each day of the week and we invite you to celebrate with us in prayer, as well. Our faith is at the core of what we do every day and we strive to educate young men and women to be life-long learners and people of integrity and service. Thank you to the Student Council and Campus Ministry for putting together this week's Catholic Schools Week schedule. We sincerely thank you for choosing Bishop Ward High School!
